Porn goes mainstream

From an email list I subscribe to comes a link to this story: bq. Columbia House To Sell Pornography Columbia House, that company we have all subscribed to at least once which sent us 12 CDs or cassettes for nothing but the exorbinant cost of shipping and handling (as long as we bought six more in the next two years), has decided to expand its product base to include pornography. While the business will be handled by a subsidiary and under a different name, (Hush), it is fully owned by Columbia House and is in partnership with Playboy. The company promises that they will not offer Hush products to their current client base. Instead, Playboy will handle the marketing, sending information to their direct mailing list which numbers in the millions. Geez - next thing you know, we will be listening to The Talking Heads MUSAK while riding in the elevator. Oh... Wait... Posted by DaveH at January 10, 2005 10:46 PM
